Sonny has been revered as one of the greatest tenor saxophonists in the world for decades-and it can all be traced back to this early masterpiece from 1957.

A classic of the genre, “Way Out West” was tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins’ first album for west coast label Contemporary Records when released in 1957. The first album to employ the “strolling” technique, Rollins was backed by Ray Brown (bass) and Shelly Manne (drums).
